Notability edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I have removed the Notability banner that was added to the article on the following grounds as outlined in WP:EVENT:

Lasting effects: The outcomes of the investigation will influence rail transportation in Canada to prevent similar occurences in the future
Geographical scope: This is national headline news, and involves a transportation provider that prov ides service across Canada
Duration of coverage: The event occurred 24 hours ago.
Diversity of sources: Three news sources and two official organizations are cited, more than adequate for the size of the article at this time. This is a brand new article, and increased diversity in sources will be allowed as the Wikipedia community has the chance to contribute to the article.
WP:EVENTS also advises "to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge".

The event received international coverage. It was covered by Sky News in the UK. Mjroots (talk) 11:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's now been well over a year since the accident. Have their been any final reports, or at least further developments in the investigation? 108.246.205.134 (talk) 06:56, 21 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
